An award-winning Vietnamese writer has been arrested, reportedly for publishing criticism of the Communist government on his blog.
Nguyen Quang Lap was taken into custody after police searched his home in the city of Ho Chi Minh on Saturday.
His wife and his brother said police had accused him of publishing articles that went against the authorities.
Mr Lap is the second prominent blogger to have been detained recently, in an apparently renewed attack on dissent.
Last week, police in Ho Chi Minh took blogger Hong Le Tho, 65, into custody on charges of anti-state activity. Full story...
